Andrey Rublev of Russia kicks off his campaign on the Asian swing of the ATP Tour against Frenchman Valentin Royer in the second round of the 2025 Hangzhou Open.

Rublev is listed as the heavy favorite at -700, but dishes out more value on the spread line, where he offers a profit as high as $330 per $100 bet.

Current Form:

Rublev will be playing his first match since his fourth-round loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime 5—7 3-6 4-6 at the US Open. Rublev arrived at Hangzhou with a 16-10 record on the hard court and a 32-20 record overall in 2025. He is the No.1 seed of this ATP 250 event.

Royer has won his last three matches to secure a spot in the round of 16. Royer, who defeated Bu Yunchaokete 6-1 6-4 7-6(1) in the first round of the 2025 US Open, is 4-1 in his last five matches. In Hangzhou, the Frenchman toppled Charles Chen 6-3 7-5, Elliot Spizzirri 7-5 4-6 6-3, and Alexander Kovacevic 4-6 7-6(6) 6-3 to set up his first face-off with Rublev.
